Season Recap: Manchester United 4 Newcastle 1

MATCH REPORT

Manchester United comprehensively defeated Newcastle United 4-1 at Old Trafford to provide plenty of festive cheer for the fans on Boxing Day.

The Reds fell behind to a strike from Matty Longstaff, scorer of the winner in the reverse fixture at St James' Park earlier this season, but replied magnificently. Anthony Martial equalised before Mason Greenwood thundered Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men in front.

Marcus Rashford capped a fine spell of attacking play by heading in a third and there was more to come after the break when Martial punished a sloppy backpass by Sean Longstaff for number four.
